“Furey Rose loves Doggie Daycare and rest really well when she comes home!! We both love Mrs. Kelli and how well she loves and cares for all of her animals!! I love that I can drop my baby off in the morning and do not have to worry about her well being while in Kelli’s care! I also love the fact that Furey gets to run free and isn’t kept in a kennel. I am super satisfied with the service provided by Kelli and will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for any type of animal services that she provides!!!”
“I was looking for a sitter who was close to home, and I found Charlie. Ace felt right at home. He had a great time. He fit in with Charlie's two other dogs. I will definitely be using Charlie again.”
“Chloe is so lucky to have Jeannie, Bobby, and Astrid as dog sitters. They spoil her everyday. She has become part of their family. You can’t go wrong with this choice!”
“Lejune and Michael were beyond awesome! This was my first leaving my doggie with someone other than family, and it was the best experience. I loved getting pictures of my fur baby. I would def recommend booking with them!”
“My dogs love going to doggy day care with Diana! Bexley had a great first week with Diana! Bexley has so much energy and Diana can definitely tire a dog out and make sure they sleep well. Both Bexley, and my other puppy Phoenix look forward to going on their day care days and also reading their report cards at the end of the day.”
“I felt super nervous starting Daisy at yet another daycare but as soon as I met Kelly, she made me feel comfortable with leaving Daisy with her. I even woke up to a pic of my Daisy girl relaxing and comfortable as can be!”
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs/cats since a young age. I love all animals and taking care of them! Currently, I am caring for my 2 cats and leopard gecko! I recently switched shifts so I am now available all week! I am no longer able to do house sitting because I now have a baby to take care of, but if they are good with kids and cats, your pet is more than welcome to come stay with us! I do prefer having the option to crate so if issues do arise or if I need to step out, I can do so easily.
“Rosa did an excellent job taking care of my boy, she took him outside on plenty of walks, fed him the exact right amount, and sent me pictures throughout the day! I would highly recommend her to anybody who needs care for their pet.”
“Kristine was absolutely wonderful, my dog was in his final days and she ensured he was visible and well loved. I had to leave for a family funeral and was distraught about leaving him behind, she made his last days some of his happiest, sent a video of him being happy, called immediately when it was obvious we were down to the wire, I could not ask for a better sitter, really someone who cares!!!!!”
“Amazing sitter for our dog! He has a small injury and she was able to accommodate him and still give him a great experience. I have never seen him so relaxed and calm after any other daycare pickup before. Highly recommend!”
About: Need to board your fur baby before travel or place them in doggy/kitty daycare? I can help! As a pet owner myself, I know how frustrating it can be to find a good, safe place to leave my babies. That's why you can be rest assured that your doggy or kitty will be happy, comfortable, and surrounded by people who will love them and treat them and just like their own. Your fur babies will have a large space indoors to play and snuggle. They will have an even larger outdoor, fenced-in space to run and play as they wish. I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs. I work from home, so I am available all day to care for your pets, walk them and be there for them. They will feel right at home! I like to follow the schedule that the client has set for their pets at home so that pets can feel a sense of continuity in their new environment. I customize my care depending on each pet and their unique needs.
About: Big dogs, little dogs; I have over 25 years of experience with animals. Growing up, I worked at Gaithersburg Animal Hospital where I walked, fed, cleaned, and performed lab work. Pet care is my full-time job. Your pets will be supervised throughout the day. I'm flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups, but request a couple hours in advanced If you need assistance with transportation, we can assist with that too. Please ask for more details! I live in a cottage right outside of Smithsburg, Maryland. The lot is 1.5 acres of land. Hygiene and safety are at the topmost importance. Your dogs will not stay crated and can access the entire property. We have cameras, which you can access to check up on your pet. We play fetch, swim in our doggy pool, and get walked regularly.

“First off, Nadia is the sweetest! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and by speaking with her you learn she has our dog’s best interest at heart. We wanted daycare on days we both worked overnight and Nadia is very flexible. This was Daisy first ever day/time away from us and we woke up to so many updates and pictures….not sure how we got so lucky.”
“Tina did wonderful with our puppy Diggs. He has separation anxiety but she kept him occupied & busy! She even sends updates along with pictures of how the pups are doing. I definitely recommend her. He seemed to have a wonderful time. I will absolutely be using her as our sitter from now on. ☺️?”
About: I’ve had experience with Dogs and Cats basically my entire life, but took over caring for my childhood pets as they aged! Now I’m a pittie mom x2 with my boyfriend! I’m a college student currently, and work 3 days a week on breaks, so I have a pretty open schedule to fit various availability needs! To me, our pets are our family. I see my own as children and I dote on them and love them as such. Big or small, dogs or cats. I love them all.
About: Hello! My name is Casey and I adore animals of all shapes, sizes, and breeds! I grew up with both cats and dogs, but currently just have two cats that live with me (Meeko and Gilly). They are very friendly and accepting of other animals. In the past I have worked at a dog kennel, so I have experience caring for all types of dogs and can understand their different personalities and needs. Currently, I work from home as an online ESL teacher so my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to spend lots of quality time with your pet :-) Although I live in an apartment, it's a five minute drive from a few local parks and and a ten minute drive from a nearby dog park.

“She is amazing with pets and especially dogs! I have seen her in action and she is a pro and dogs truly love her. We had a stubborn pup who did not like taking their medication and she kept at it until she figured it out. Now our pups enjoy taking their meds with her method (which may or may not involve a little cheese treat 😉)”
